Carroll Fisher in a China Shop

On Tuesday the State House of Representatives passed a measure that could lead to the impeachment of State Insurance Commissioner Carroll Fisher. Fisher has, almost from the day of his election a few years ago, been in some sort of self-inflicted trouble with allegations of misconduct in office. We've heard about the charity, the gifts from insurance companies, etc - but no one has asked Fisher why he traveled to China in 2002 at state expense. What possible reason could our state insurance director have for travelling to the Great Wall at our expense?
